History

File:Frey from Balder 1.jpg

Frey thinking of Gerd

Origin

Frey was the God of Harvest and the brother of Idunn.[3]

A Vanir of Vanaheim, Freyr became at some point their leader.[4]

Earlier Ragnarök Eras

At least in the era of the third Ragnarök, Frey had his hol in Alfheim.[5]

In the Ragnarök that preceded the birth of Thor Odinson (Earth-616), son of Gaea, Frey was killed by Surtur during the final battle, letting the Fire Demon free of rampaging and burning the world.[6]

Early years

Frey swore he would have Gerd for wife, and called childhood friend Skirnir to win her hand for him, in exchange of his his magical sword.[2]

At some point, Freyr gave birth to his first daughter, Freyja.[4]

Aesir/Vanir War

Freyr was given an ultimatum by Odin to unite the Vanir to the Aesir, to which Freyr answered that the Vanir would remain independent.[4]

While assuring Freyja that there would be no war, he went to Muspelheim to meet with Surtur, who offered him to inspire and help the Vanir to stood up to the Aesir. The next day, Freyr answered to Odin by war.[4]

Peace

After many years of war, Odin finally to Freyr offering a truce, as he refused to have to slaughter all Vanir, and made a proposal:[7] The Vanir and the Aesir formed an alliance through the marriage of Odin Freyja.[4]

Freyja's sister Gullveig was born after peace was made.[8]

Frey, along with the joined families, help build the palace of Valhalla.[3] In order to reconstruct Valhalla, Odin had the Storm Giants Fasolt and Fafnir to work for him in exchange for promising them Frey's sister Idunn, Odin having been told by Loki he would not have to accept his part of the bargain. As Loki revealed he hadn't planned anything, Frey and Thor came to confront the Storm Giants, but were ordered to stand down by the All-Father.[9]

Freyr was present at Loki's magic show, where Thor assaulted him for having cut Sif's golden hair.[10] He was later the one to put Skidbladnir in water at Balder's funeral.[11]

On Thor's orders, Frey was to go to Midgard accompanying his sister Idunn, in order to sow seeds of Apples of Immortality, as they couldn't be grew anymore on Asgard consecutively to Balder's death. The trip was cancelled as the ceremony was interrupted by renegades and Bifrost guardian Heimdall was wounded in the battle.[12] Idunn then proposed an alternative plan, with no escort and with Nidavellir as destination. Thor tried to discourage them, in vain.[13] They travelled to Nidavellir, only to find the flames of the flaming pit frozen and to be soon surrounded by Dwarves and taken prisoners to their leader.[14]

...

Frey was seen feasting with the Asgardians, after Thor had revived them consecutively to their death following the battle of Odin against the Celestials merging the whole Asgard into the Destroyer.[15]

Lost Gods

When the Aesir was dispatched on Midgard on human forms as the Lost Gods, Frey existed as Mr. Freystein, a man allegedly living with his sister "Ida" (Idunn) in a little condo in north Miami until they got the "travel bug" and became tourists travelling aboard a camping car, eventually meeting with other Lost Gods at the Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.[1]

Attributes

Powers

Frey possesses the conventional superhuman physical attributes of an Asgardian god, including:

  • Superhuman strength: Frey can lift about 30 tons.

Paraphernalia

Weapons

He formerly had a magic sword, Laevateinn, or the Sword of Destiny, that made its wielder unconquerable for that it fought on its own, only "if wise be he who wields it", and that no substance could withstand its cutting edge.[16]

Transportation

Frey occasionally travel on Gullinbursti, his large boar companion.[citation needed]

Notes

Frey is seemingly fated to be killed during the Ragnarök, opposing Surtur, as he did in an earlier occurrence of the Asgardians' cycle,[6] and as he appears in visions.[17]
